Once
again, science proves it’s the silver ion that’s responsible for silver’s
astonishing effectiveness against some of the most hardy and
difficult-to-eradicate pathogens on the face of the earth.

Below,
you’ll learn what clinical researchers discovered when they treated one of the
world’s most difficult-to-kill pathogens – Bacillus subtilis – with silver
nanoparticles.

Here’s
a hint: Researchers discovered that it wasn’t
the metallic silver nanoparticles that killed the pathogen. It was the silver ions
released by the metallic silver nanoparticles that caused the fatal damage.

This
proves once again that ionic silver is the active, infection-fighting form of
colloidal silver, and that all other forms of silver are effective only to the
extent they release silver ions in the presence of pathogens.

In a clinical study with
the lengthy title “The Antimicrobial Properties of Silver Nanoparticles in Bacillus subtilis Are Mediated by
Released Ag+ Ions,” researchers discovered that silver nanoparticles exhibit profound
antimicrobial action against theBacillus
subtilisbacterium – one of
the world’s most difficult-to-kill microbes.

But here’s the clincher:
That effectiveness was due largely to the release of silver ions from
the metallic silver nanoparticles used in the experiment, and not due to the metallic silver
nanoparticles themselves.

Although Bacillus
subtilis is a relatively benign soil bacteria, scientists know that it’s
extremely difficult to kill due to its ability to produce endospores -- a kind
of “armor plating” which makes the microbe virtually impervious to a variety of
disinfectants and toxic chemicals including antibiotic drugs.

Thanks to this “armor plating,” the pathogen is also
virtually immune to temperature variations, desiccation, ultra-violet light,
and even to starvation since it can go dormant for months or even years at a
time, hiding within its tough endospore shell whenever it feels threatened by
antibiotic drugs or other substances.

Because of its unusual characteristics,Bacillus subtilisis often used in clinical testing as a
substitute for its first-cousinBacillus
anthracis – yes, the deadly anthrax
pathogen, which has similar qualities that make it just as difficult to eradicate.

Indeed,
for decadesBacillussubtilishas been used by the U.S. Army as a
“simulant” in germ warfare studies of the anthrax pathogen. When the
military wants to know if a substance can kill anthrax, they first test that substance against Bacillus subtilis. If the substance can kill Bacillus subtilis, then the military
researchers can be relatively certain it can kill anthrax as well.

In the above-mentioned clinical study, researchers treatedBacillus subtiliscultures with 0-50 ppm concentrations
of silver nanoparticles, and found that while a concentration of only 5 ppm
inhibited bacterial growth for 12 hours, concentrations of 10 ppm and higher
were lethal to the otherwise
difficult-to-kill bacterium.

The researchers found that reactive oxygen species triggered
by the release of positively charged silver ions from the silver
nanoparticles contributed to the breakdown of the tough “armor plated” cell
membrane of the microbe, and that the ionic silver then penetrated the cell
membrane and disrupted the integrity of the microbe’s chromosomal DNA causing
it to die.

The researchers concluded:

“To the best of our
understanding, this is the first study to directly analyze silver particles
present within bacterial cells treated with silver nanoparticles, and the
results indicate that positively charged silver ions are primarily responsible
for silver nanoparticle microbial toxicity…

…our results support the theory
that silver nanoparticles exert microbial toxicity through the release of
positively charged silver ions that subsequently penetrate into bacterial
cells.”

Once again, this is very
important to understand:

The researchers treated the
microbes with relatively low levels of metallic silver particles (i.e., silver
nanoparticles). But they discovered that
the metallic silver particles didn’t kill the hardy microbes.

Instead, the silver ions being
released by the metallic silver particles did the killing, first, by releasing
reactive oxygen species (much like hydrogen peroxide) that essentially
“softened up” the tough outer microbial shell of the pathogen, and second, by
penetrating that damaged shell wall, entering the microbe, and binding to its DNA.

This proves, once again, that the
silver ion (i.e., ionic silver) is the active, infection-fighting form
of silver, and that metallic silver (i.e., silver nanoparticles) is only
effective to the extent it releases silver ions in the presence of the pathogens.

This is why smart colloidal
silver users always choose the superior ionic form of colloidal silver
over the metallic silver nanoparticle form.
They know the metallic form must first be converted into the ionic
form inside the human body in order to work – a process which is both slow and
inefficient compared to utilizing pure ionic colloidal silver
instead.

Indeed, in one laboratory study the ionic form
of colloidal silver was demonstrated to be up to 10,000 times more potent than metallic
silver!

Whether you use colloidal silver
to help ward off colds, flu and other upper respiratory infections (learn more,
here)…or for more serious and
potentially life-threatening infections (see here)…or for its many other healing and immune-boosting benefits
(seehere)… one thing you likely know for
sure is that it’s quiteexpensiveto buy from health food stores.

Indeed, in most major health food stores colloidal silver in the superior ionic form usually costs between $25 to
$30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle – an amount that’s barely
enough to help fend of even a mild cold or flu.

But owning a newMicro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge
allows you to make your own superior-quality ionic colloidal silver for
less than 36 centsa
quart. Yes, I said
36 CENTS per QUART.

You
see, a full quart of ionic colloidal silver consists ofeightof those tiny four-ounce bottles you
can buy at health food stores for around $30 a bottle. That means you’d
have to pay up to $240 for a full quart of colloidal silver in a health food store.

But you
can spend about that same amount of money on a brand newMicro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generatorfrom The Silver Edge – the
world’s #1 best-selling colloidal silver generator -- and makequartafterquartafterquartof superior-quality colloidal silver
for the rest of your life, for about 36 cents apiece!

Do you
know of any other product that pays for itself virtuallythe very first time you use it?

It’s quite literally as close as you can come to enjoying free colloidal silver for the
rest of your life, because you’re making it yourselffor the same tiny cost the big
colloidal silver manufacturers make it for before distributing it to health
food stores where it’s marked up by a whopping 60,000%! (Learn more here.)

Making
your own high-quality colloidal silver this inexpensively allows you to use
colloidal silverany time you
need, or even give it away to family members, friends or loved ones who
need it, without giving cost a second thought.

Sub-Microscopic
Silver Particle Size

Makes
It Up to 1,000x More Bio-Available!

What’s
more, the tiny, sub-microscopic silver particles produced by this amazing
breakthrough in colloidal silver-making technology are as low as .8 nm in
size. That’s a fraction of
a single nanometer.

Yet
most conventional health food store brands of colloidal silver contain silver
particles as large as 200 nm to 1,000 nm in size (seeherefor a photographic comparison of
the size differences between ionic colloidal silver made with a Micro-Particle
Colloidal Silver Generator, and conventional colloidal silver particles found
in health food store brands.)

This is
critically important to understand, because even the FDAadmitsthat the smaller the silver
particles are, the morebio-availablethey are, meaning the body is better
able to absorb them, utilize them, and afterwards safely excrete them.

Plus,
it’s now known that tiny silver micro-particles are able to kill off entire
colonies of pathogens with far greater effectiveness than conventional-sized
colloidal silver particles.

That’s
because of the “zombie effect” described in this recent article about brand new research
out of Hebrew University in Jerusalem. As you’ll see, the effectiveness
of ultra-small, sub-microscopic silver particles against colonies of
disease-causing microbes is absolutely astonishing.

The
bottom line is that the tiny, submicroscopic silver particles produced by a newMicro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generatorfrom The Silver Edge are up
to 1,000 times more bio-available than conventional silver
particles.

Indeed,
the human body is able to absorb 90-100% of the tiny silver micro-particles,
sending them throughout the body to kill pathogens, and then afterwards excreting
them with ease, thanks to their small size.

But the
human body is only able to absorb and utilize as little as 20% to 40% of the
silver particles found in many health food store brands of colloidal silver
which contain silver particles as large as 200 nm to 1,000 nm or even
larger. Clearly, making
your own micro-particle colloidal silver is hands-down the smartest way to
go.

Perhaps
that’s why so many thousands upon thousands of people absolutely rave over the
effectiveness of the colloidal silver made with their Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator, as you can see at this web page full of real-life colloidal silver success
stories.

Millions of
people worldwide have been using the ionic form of colloidal silver with great
success for at least six decades. But in
the late 1990’s several websites suddenly appeared marketing so-called “true
colloids” or “true colloidal silver,” which is a form of colloidal silver
composed largely of non-ionic metallic
silver particles, which are also referred to as nanosilver or silver
nanoparticles.

The purveyors
of so-called “true colloidal silver” routinely assert that when ionic forms of
colloidal silver are ingested, they convert to silver chloride in the stomach
due to the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl), which in turn renders it useless.

And they
claim that silver in its metallic form will not
convert to silver chloride in the stomach.
Therefore, they claim, their metallic “true colloidal silver” is effective
in inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in the human body, whereas the ionic
form is largely ineffective.

Ignoring a multitude
of published studies to that prove the exact opposite – I’ve counted 158 of
them, so far -- these promoters began to claim that their metallic “true colloidal
silver” is the only truly effective form, while the ionic form of colloidal silver
is completely useless in the human body.

To this very day,
these marketers continue to disseminate misleading information about the nature
of colloidal silver to the general public in an apparent (albeit vain) effort
to corner the market on colloidal silver for themselves. The purpose of this article is to put an end
to this debate once and for all. Which
form of colloidal silver is the most effective against pathogens: the ionic form, or the metallic form? Here’s the answer:

The Laboratory Study that Ends the
Debate!

In December
of 2004, John W. Roberts, PhD of the Natural-Immunogenics Corporation conducted
an in-depth laboratory study
in which the so-called “true colloidal silver” (i.e., metallic silver, also
called nanosilver, or silver nanoparticles) was pitted against ionic silver.

Dr. Roberts
stated that the purpose of his study was to compare the antimicrobial effect of
'particulate' (i.e., metallic) versus (free) 'ionic' silver. Dr. Roberts certifies that his comparative
analysis study was conducted with full compliance to the standards established
by the Food and Drug Administrations Office of Regulatory Affairs including 21
CFR part 58 (Good Laboratory Practices) and 21 CFR part 211.

The
hypothesis of Dr. Roberts’ study is that, contrary to the claims made by the
purveyors of so-called “true colloidal silver,” it’s the silver ion that’s primarily responsible for silver's antimicrobial
efficacy and not the metallic silver
particles being touted as “true colloidal silver.”

Dr. Roberts and his team compared
the antibacterial activity of both ionic silver and so-called “true colloidal
silver” (metallic silver particles) by treating healthy cultures of the
bacterial strains, separately, with both forms.

The bacterial strains used in
this study were identical concentrations and dilutions of Staphylococcus aureus (S-1 and S-2). These potent bacterial strains
were allowed to culture (grow). This
culture was then diluted to a standard 10:1 ratio using sterile purified lab
water and placed on sterile plates.

Next, a solution of hydrochloric
acid (HC1) was added to samples of both the ionic silver and the so-called “true
colloidal silver” (i.e., metallic silver).

Lastly, the two treated
samples of the silver product/ HCl mixture were added to the two bacterial
strains samples. The mixtures were then agitated and allowed to react until
spotted onto the plate.

The same tests were also conducted
without the pre-treatment of the HCl
mixture, to see how the two species of silver (ionic and metallic) performed
without the hindrance of hydrochloric acid.

The results were astonishing!
With or without the HCl mixture
added, the Staphylococcus cultures
(both S-1 and S-2) on the plates were virtually eradicated in just four minutes when treated with ionic silver!

But the culture plates
treated with the so-called “true colloidal silver” showed only a very slight
reduction in the bacterial count!The principal
conclusions from the study are as follows:

·Before adding hydrochloric acid, the ionic form of silver achieves total kill
of the Staphylococcus aureus
pathogens in just four minutes.

·The
so-called “true colloidal silver” could not match those results even when eight
minutes were given. The untreated ionic form
proved to be at least 100 times more potent against the pathogens than
untreated “true colloidal silver.”

·When
hydrochloric acid was added, the so-called “true colloidal silver” (i.e.,
metallic silver) lost almost all its antibacterial potency.

·Loss
of potency to the ionic silver due to the same treatment with hydrochloric acid
was comparatively negligible.

·In
fact, after being treated with hydrochloric acid under the same experimental
conditions, the ionic-silver was shown to be a whopping 10,000 times more
potent than the so-called “true colloidal silver” in terms of its
antimicrobial effects against the two bacterial strains.

The
results of this study clearly show that ionic form of silver dramatically
outperformed the particulate/metallic “true colloidal silver” form, even in the
presence of hydrochloric acid (i.e., stomach acid). Ionic silver was demonstrated to be over 100
times more effective when tested head-to-head with the so-called “true
colloidal silver.” And when hydrochloric acid was added to both forms of
silver, the so-called “true colloidal silver” lost so much potency the ionic
silver then tested to be an astonishing 10,000
times more potent against the pathogens!

So it’s not even close!

The
facts are: The ionic form of colloidal silver
killed allStaphylococcus aureus
microorganisms with only a four minute exposure while the metallic, so-called
“true colloidal silver” form was only marginally bactericidal at best, even at
eight minutes.

While the purveyors of so-called
"true colloidal silver" continue
to make the claim that ionic silver gets tied-up in the gut and neutralized by
hydrochloric acid, even more recent clinical research confirms that it's actually the metallic form of colloidal silver -- so-called “true
colloidal silver,” or silver nanoparticles -- that gets tied-up in the gut and
neutralized by hydrochloric acid.

In fact, according to the True Colloidal Silver Facts
website, this has been demonstrated clinically, time and time again, most
recently by researchers from the University of Nevada in cooperation with
scientists from the EPA's Office of Research and Development.

In their clinical study, the
researchers exposed metallic silver nanoparticles to synthetic human stomach
fluid to see how ingested metallic silver nanoparticles could be altered by the
stomach's very acidic environment. According to the researchers:

"A variety of analytical methods
showed that nanoparticles formed large aggregates and produced silver
chloride when exposed to stomach fluid.
Changes in nanoparticle physical form and surface chemistry that occur
in the stomach may affect how much silver will be absorbed across the
gastrointestinal barrier."

In short, the researchers
discovered that metallic silver nanoparticles (i.e., nanosilver, or so-called
"true colloidal silver") formed large clumps and began converting to
silver chloride when exposed to stomach acids. The researchers surmised that
because of this, the human body would likely have significant trouble absorbing
and utilizing metallic nanosilver particles.

Even the infamous Brown
University clinical study on argyria, conducted in August 2012, found that
metallic nanosilver was "not terribly likely to make it from the GI tract
to the blood..." but that silver ions shed by the metal
nanosilver in reaction to the acidic environment of the stomach were
"easily absorbed into the bloodstream". Again, that's the exact opposite of
what the purveyors of "true colloidal silver" claim. Indeed, the Brown University
researchers found that:

"...nanosilver
corrodes in stomach acid in much the same way it does in other acidic
environments. Corrosion strips silver atoms of electrons, forming positively
charged silver salt ions. Those ions can easily be taken into the
bloodstream..."

So in light of these studies
and others like them, it would appear that the purveyors of the metallic
nanosilver products which they erroneously call "true colloidal
silver" are either ignorant of the actual science, or not always
completely honest with their customers.The
evidence speaks for itself!In the ensuing controversy
after the Natural-Immunogenics lab tests by were made public, the purveyors of
the metallic so-called “true colloidal silver” desperately tried to find a way
to rebuke the findings of this study -- even claiming that four minutes was not
long enough! Here’s a direct quote from one
of the purveyors of the so-called “true colloidal silver” with regards to the
study results: “The narrow and
unrealistically short time points do not reflect actual usage of either product.”

You don’t need to be a
scientist to see how ridiculous this statement is! Ionic silver killed all of
the bacterial cultures in just four minutes and the so-called “true colloidal
silver” product didn’t even come close!

Are the purveyors of so-called
“true colloidal silver” suggesting that this test should allow more time for their
product to prove its worth as an antibacterial agent? In this study, the
so-called “true colloidal silver” was given up to 8 minutes to perform and
still it did little damage to either of the Staphylococcus
cultures. How much time do they need? The purveyors of the
so-called “true colloidal silver” could have saved themselves a lot of humiliation
and embarrassment if they had first read up on some of the many scientific
studies that have already proven that it is indeed the ionic charge that is primarily responsible for silver's
antimicrobial efficacy. This includes studies like
the ones conducted at Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, which
is home of the world renowned Army Burn Center operated by the United States
Army Institute of Surgical Research. The ArmyBurn Center
has been at the forefront of research and development of burn treatments and
has been researching the use of silver in medicine for decades. To quote Albert T. McManus, MD, Chief of Microbiology at the ArmyBurn
Center who conducted one such study, “…conversion
of silver to silver ions is necessary for efficacy”.In other words, for silver to
be effective against pathogens, it must
be in the ionic form. If metallic silver (i.e., so-called “true
colloidal silver”) is used, it is only effective to the extent that the metal
shed silver ions in the presence of pathogens.To learn more about the
profound differences between the superior ionic form of colloidal silver, and
the less-than-stellar metallic “true colloids” form, see the True Colloidal Silver Facts
website. There you’ll
learn why millions of people
worldwide have been using ionic forms of colloidal silver with great success
for decades! Simply put, silver ions
rule! They are the active,
infection-fighting form of silver, as dozens of top colloidal
silver researchers agree. Case closed!!!

According to WebMD.com, “Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is a viral illness that causes sores
in or on the mouth and
on the hands, feet, and
sometimes the buttocks and legs.”

WebMD goes on to say
that Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is “most common in children, but can also
occur in adults.”

Caused by a virus from
the Enterovirus class (which includes Coxsackie A virus) infected individuals
can pass the virus to others by coming into close touch with them. Or the virus can be picked up by an
individual when he touches an object that’s previously been handled by an
infected person.

The initial symptoms generally
mimic a cold or flu onset, and can include fatigue, sore throat and fever. But these are usually followed within a few
days by sores or blisters on the mouth, hands, feet and sometimes the
buttocks.

Will colloidal silver
help fight the symptoms of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease? Many people claim it’s worked wonders for
them. Here are just a few exciting examples…

“I
used colloidal silver to treat my son 24 hrs after onset of hand, foot, mouth
disease (a virus). By 36 hours after treating 2-3 times a day of 1 tsp dose and
gargling, all blisters in mouth were gone and he was eating!!! Colloidal silver
WORKS!!”

When I wrote back and asked her for more details, she
replied:

“My
son was about 8 yrs old. Symptoms began with a high fever on a Tuesday at 5:00
pm. The following day, when I returned home from work, I saw the blisters in
his throat and thought it was strep.

But
I took him to the doctor at that time, who then diagnosed it as hand, foot,
mouth disease.

When
we returned home, I began a dose of 1 tsp silver (swallow) and to gargle and
rinse mouth with it also. He had 2 doses that night and 2 before lunch on
Thursday. I saw him at lunchtime on Thursday and offered him ANYTHING to
eat.....milkshake, anything. He said no, his mouth hurt.

When
I returned home from work that afternoon at 5:00 pm, I asked him if there was
anything he would like to eat for supper (believing he still couldn't eat). He
responded "French fries" and he was back to normal.

My
husband and I both have BS degrees, and were teachers in the science fields. I
have been using colloidal silver ever since. I would take it when stomach virus
would run rampant in the school...I never got sick. I am a very big believer in
colloidal silver.”

So apparently, success was obtained by giving the eight year
old child three teaspoons full of colloidal silver the day after the outbreak
began, and two teaspoons full of colloidal silver the next day. And then the child was back to normal.

More Experiential
Evidence

On the EarthClinic.com website (one of my favorite natural
health websites), they have a page on “Hand Foot and Mouth Disease Symptoms and
Remedies” which states, “Colloidal silver
treats the condition and prevents it from returning.”

One of their readers commented:

“I had a friend whose daughter had contracted Hand Foot and Mouth
disease at daycare. We had spoken to a few people and someone suggested trying
Colloidal Silver. I told her to try it because the doctor would not give her
anything.

Within
two days her daughter was a lot better and the symptoms of the Hand Foot and
Mouth had gone. My friend is still giving her daughter the Colloidal Silver to
stop it from coming back. We have looked into colloidal silver and apparently it’s
great for all viral infections and internal parasites!”

Another reader commented:

"My
8 year old son contracted Hand/foot/mouth from school...Had large sore blisters
on the side of his tongue.

I
gave him 2 doses of colloidal silver for two days. It stopped more blisters
from forming and the others began to heal immediately.

His
older brother is a diabetic and just formed a few spots around his lips - I
gave him 1 dose yesterday and today there are no new spots formed. (I ran out
of silver so am off to get more!)”

On the Raising Natural Kids blog page on Hand, Foot and
Mouth Disease, one reader wrote in:

“Colloidal silver got rid of the blisters within 24 hours.”

On the Modern Alternative Mama website, a reader commented
about her 9-year old son’s case of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease, saying:

“…my 9 year old son picked this up I’m guessing at the skating rink for a
birthday party. He complains of the blisters being itchy as well. We are using
colloidal silver and it kept the blisters from spreading. They never made it to
his mouth, thank God!! You may want to give it a try.”

On the Wellness and Toys website, in an article titled “Hand
Foot and Mouth Disease Treatment and Simple Solutions for Relief,” the author
states:

“Colloidal
silver fights viruses and can be a good treatment. You can put it in
a spray bottle and spray the blisters and you can swish in the mouth and gargle
and then swallow to help internally. Most report rapid recovery using
colloidal silver.”

And a reader on that same web page commented:

“…as
soon as my daughter started with a fever we put her on colloidal silver.
A few days later she had a few spots on her legs. Then some on her face,
hands, and feet. Thankfully the spots never got very big or bothered her
and I know it is because we had her on colloidal silver from the moment she had
a fever.

And
thankfully it never went around to the rest of us! We also put silver on each
spot as well. After seeing what some other kids went through, hers was
nothing compared to what it could have been!”

On the From Faye blog, in the comments on an article about
Natural Treatments for Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease, one reader stated:

“My
9 year old has this at the moment. Monday, his hands had blisters. Tuesday, his
feet. Wednesday, his legs. This morning, his arms and stomach. I'm afraid
tomorrow they will be in his mouth. We are now trying colloidal silver. I will
update to let you know how/if it works.”

Five days later that same reader commented again:

“The colloidal silver kept the blisters from spreading any further! No
mouth sores!!!”

So there are clearly some interesting experiential success
stories demonstrating that colloidal silver is indeed helpful for Hand, Foot
and Mouth Disease outbreaks.

Of course, this should not
surprising, since Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease outbreaks are caused by a virus, and thousands of colloidal silver
users worldwide have testified that colloidal silver has been extremely
effective against a wide variety of other types of viral outbreaks, including:

I have to emphasize here that there’s practically zeroclinical
research evidence for the use of colloidal silver against viral outbreaks
such as Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease.
Nor is there much in vivo clinical
evidence (i.e., human studies) for the use of colloidal silver against any other
type of viral outbreak, either.

But if you click on the above links, you can read the
articles associated with each type of viral outbreak mentioned, and there you’ll
see that in spite of the dearth of clinical evidence, people nevertheless swear
by the use of colloidal silver for such viral outbreaks.

Treating Hand, Foot
and Mouth Disease

With Colloidal Silver

For topical viral outbreaks such as Hand, Foot and Mouth
Disease, as well as others, many people tell me they’ve had great success using
a good topical commercial colloidal silver gel product such as ASAP Ultimate
Skin & Body Care Gel with 24 ppm colloidal silver, or Curad Silver Solution
First Aid Antimicrobial Gel with 55 ppm silver chloride.

Both of the above-mentioned commercial colloidal silver gel
products are available on Amazon.com.
What’s more, the Curad Silver Solution First Aid Antimicrobial Gel,
which is made by the famous band-aid maker, is often available at Walgreen’s
pharmacies, as well.

If you can’t obtain a good, commercial colloidal silver gel
for the topical treatment, or make your own colloidal silver gel, you can always
apply any standard liquid colloidal silver product topically, using either a
pump spray bottle to spray the topical outbreaks four or five times a day and
allowing it to air dry, or simply by applying some liquid colloidal silver to a
cotton ball and dabbing it gently onto the viral blisters multiple times a day
and allowing it to air dry.

However, many people swear by the topical gels for the viral
skin outbreaks, since the gel tends to keep the silver in direct contact with
the skin eruptions for a longer period of time compared to simply spraying them
with a liquid colloidal silver product.

Obviously, never give anyone colloidal silver gel
internally. It’s for topical use only. For internal colloidal silver use such as
described in the earlier testimonials, most people turn to a good, commercial liquid
colloidal silver product, such as Sovereign Silver or ASAP Colloidal Silver
Solution (the two most popular brands in America), both of which are available
on Amazon.

Or, rather than paying $20 to $30 per tiny four-ounce bottle
of commercial brands of colloidal silver, you can always make your own
high-quality colloidal silver for less
than 36 cents a quart, with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator from The Silver Edge.

Internal (Oral) Dosages

As for internal dosages of liquid colloidal silver, most
adults who have experienced bouts of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease tell me
they’ve taken one ounce of 10 ppm strength liquid colloidal silver, orally, up to four times a day during the course
of the outbreak, while also treating any topical skin eruptions with a good
colloidal silver gel product as mentioned above.

Children are usually given one-quarter the adult oral dosage,
or between two to four teaspoons full daily for several days until the viral
outbreaks clear up.

I have to admit, I’m always reluctant to comment on giving
colloidal silver orally to young children, because of liability. You just don’t know when a child might be
allergic to internal colloidal silver usage.
So parents need to be aware, and watch for the tell-tale signs of a
silver allergy, i.e., reddish skin rashes.

Allergic reactions to colloidal silver are extremely rare;
I’ve only heard of one case in a
child, and one case in an adult, in
over 20 years of interviewing literally thousands of colloidal silver users for
my book, The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual.
But as rare as they are, allergies to
colloidal silver can indeed happen,
resulting in reddish skin rashes that generally go away within 24-48 hours
after oral colloidal silver usage is discontinued.

Another point to keep in mind is that children's bodies are
still in development, so they're quite different compared to an adult body.
Functions that are fully formed in adults -- such as the mechanism for
transporting, utilizing and afterwards excreting silver -- might not be fully
formed or fully functional in young children.

So it’s important, in my opinion, not to give colloidal silver orally to young children on a regular
daily basis for long periods of time. My
personal layman’s opinion is to take the child to a licensed naturopath (i.e.,
natural health doctor) who’s experienced in colloidal silver usage.

The naturopath can properly diagnose the child, prescribe the
proper dosage of colloidal silver and then monitor the child to make sure the
dosage is working well and there's no other problems developing.

Nevertheless, I know that many, many parents give their
children colloidal silver as their "go to" remedy for childhood infections.
I did so myself when my children were young, on an occasional “as needed”
basis.

As an example, here’s a testimonial from a mother of a six
children who's an herbalist studying to be a naturopath. She wrote:

"I'm
an herbalist and currently working towards my B.S in Alternative Medicine. I'm
quite comfortable using colloidal silver for my 6 children, including my
youngest who is 4 1/2 months. I dose it accurately, based on the ppm of the
colloidal silver product I’m using and their body weight [learn more about
dosing by body weight in the free Colloidal Silver Safe Dosage Report -- ED) and I only use it 3 times a day for a few days at most on the
rare occasion they're ill."

Keep in mind that in the very first testimonial about using
colloidal silver for Hand, foot and Mouth Disease earlier in this article, the
parent stated they only had to give their eight year old child three teaspoons
full of colloidal silver the first day, and two the next, before the child was
back to normal. That seems perfectly
reasonable to me for an eight year old child.

But please keep in mind I’m not a doctor. So please
don’t take anything you’ve read in this article as being “prescriptive” in
nature. As a natural health journalist,
I’m just reporting on what I’ve learned as I’ve researched this article
topic.

Again, my personal position when it comes to childhood
infections and colloidal silver is to take the child to a licensed naturopath (i.e.,
natural health doctor) who’s experienced in colloidal silver usage and allow
the expert to diagnose and prescribe.
